Hi! So happy to finally review K-beauty again! This time it's from Althea. I've been talking about Althea many times and still, it's my favorite beauty destination for shopping. They offer good price, many choices and offer free shipping, all in one deal right.

A month ago I received a beauty box with a bunch of Althea goodies, yes they make their own cosmetic and skincare now with affordable price and such a great quality. It's such a joy to finally try some of them. Here we go!

They recently launched an exclusive brand from Althea, A'bloom line for mask and other beauties:

- Giant Meringue Puff (IDR 37,000)

- Baby Meringue Puff (IDR 53,000)

And here are their sheet mask collection with such affordable price (only IDR 7,000) :

- Anti Blemish Peach Mask

- Brightening Lemon Lime Mask

- Moisturizing Watermelon Mask

- Nourishing Avocado Mask

Althea A'bloom Giant Meringue Puff Review

The closer you look at this baby, the cuter it looks. It's a beauty blender that gives you a perfect makeup with flawless finish. They come in 2 sizes, Giant for the face and baby for concealer purpose.

It becomes bigger up to 1,5x its original size so it's so easy to use especially for foundation. It has super soft texture and very squishy. It can be used in both dry and wet form but I prefer the wet one since it gives more glowing complexion.

I've been using it many times and it becomes my favorite now, it makes my foundation more even and gives more coverage while prevent cracking on my face line. Since I have normal dry skin, this Giant Meringue Puff helps my skin well. If you have same skin type like me, use it wet, but if you want to have matte finish you can try to use it dry.

Althea A'bloom Baby Meringue Puff Review

Same with the giant one but this cuties is irresistible! I want to eat it 😍 OMG it's so cute. One pack contains 3pcs of Baby Meringue Puff which is a saver! Use one only and keep the others for stock, it will last for a very long time til you need a new one.

I use this everyday if I go outside since I always use under eye concealer only but not with foundation (my to go look if I'm in a hurry). This puff helps me so much to make my concealer stay flawlessly without fine lines, plus no more dirty finger. I love to use the bottom side for the under eye to cheek area and the pointy side for the area near waterline. 

For the price and the quality, this is such a good deal! I may say I HAVE TO RESTOCK when I ran out of this baby. Super cute and smooth plus affordable, how can I say no!

Althea A'bloom BHA Blackhead Blaster Review

This is a new product for me as I've never tried anything like this before. The shape reminds me of brightening eye product that I had long time ago but this one is an exfoliating stick.

BHA Blackhead Blaster makes blackhead out without the ouch. It's a gentle and non-irritating formula treats and prevents new ones from forming. The key ingredient is Natural BHA (White Willow Bark Extract 5,000ppm).

This blackhead stick has black plastic packaging, very easy to use only by turning the body like lipstick and swipe it on targeted area like nose and chin. It can also be used for the whole face as exfoliating pack but I haven't tried it. 

When swiped, it looks like a thin black paste. It has nice tea tree scent, nice and calming. If you look closely there are spots which is apricot seed to help the exfoliating process.

After using it on nose and chin, I can feel that my skin is cleaner (almost like squeaky clean), it becomes softer and less oily. I don't have many blackheads so I can't say much about the blackhead removal but I have whiteheads and this BHA Blackhead Blaster softens the whiteheads area on chin and make it easier to clean.

This super practical thing can be carry anywhere and very helpful for exfoliating. It's a must bring for traveling especially in summer where our skin gets much more oily than usual.

Althea A'bloom Mask Review

Who can resist the super cute packaging and the cheap price?! I always stock up masks for daily use (if I'm diligent enough to use them everyday), but hell yeah I'm a mask collector and I'm so in when I see these A'bloom mask.

Anti Blemish Peach Mask

I love this peach scent the most compared to others, it has nice calming peach scent, not the sweet one. Anyway, after using it I feel my skin is moist and not as sticky as other mask. However, I don't know the effect on blemish or acne since I use it without having one, but I've heard from other friends that have blemish and they love this mask.

Brightening Lemon Lime Mask

I tried this mask at night and after using it I love my skin, it gets brighten a bit and very moisturizing. It has nice citrus scent but not overwhelming. The sheet size is much bigger than my face so I have to fold it to fit my face. However it gives sticky finish even after 2 hours so I prefer to rinse a bit with water and tap tap to dry, no more sticky feeling but still feels moisturizing on my skin. 

Moisturizing Watermelon Mask

I love the scent of this watermelon mask! It's very refreshing and calming. It makes my skin very moisturized but a bit too sticky, prefer to tap tap with water too after using it.

Nourishing Avocado Mask

Hi everyone! Pasti pada tau kalau aku mau bahas tentang Althea kan. Dulu aku sudah beberapa kali belanja dan share pengalaman belanja di Althea di blog ini. Happy banget sejak ada Althea jadi bisa nyobain banyak produk kosmetik dan skincare Korea terutama yang brandnya jarang dan unik-unik. 

But, sayangnya Althea sempat terhambat dan ga bisa masuk ke Indonesia selama beberapa bulan karena ada custom regulation yang sempat membuat banyak impor terhambat. Now you don't have to worry karena kita sudah bisa belanja lagi loh bahkan bisa COD (Cash on Delivery / Bayar di tempat), tapi ada beberapa ketentuan yang harus diikuti nih, belanjanya ga boleh banyak-banyak sekaligus. Aku bakal bahas dan share ke kalian yah supaya membantu buat yang bingung.


Peraturan Baru Belanja di Althea

Dulu kalau belanja di Althea kan bisa suka-suka nih, mau add to cart apa aja asal bayar ya sudah deh. Sekarang ada peraturan baru dikarenakan kebijakan Bea Cukai Indonesia yang berlaku sejak 14 November 2018 yaitu:

1) Maksimal 8 barang per pesanan
2) Maksimal 8 per barang per jenis yang sama
3) Pelanggan layak untuk membuat 1 pesanan per 24 jam
Setelah melakukan pemesanan, Anda harus menunggu 24 jam agar memenuhi syarat untuk melakukan pemesanan berikutnya
4) Maksimal cap Rp1.100.000 per pesanan


Verifikasi KTP

Sekarang kalau belanja, saat checkout akan diminta verifikasi KTP, tapi kalian jangan khawatir karena ini hanya salah satu syarat dari bea cukai Indonesia dan kita ga bakalan dikenai pajak atau dikirimin surat cinta kok. Ketentuannya sbb:

• Menurut kebijakan bea cukai Indonesia, pelanggan harus memverifikasi informasi KTP mereka
• Data ini akan dikumpulkan satu kali di halaman checkout pada saat pembelian pertama
• Semua informasi yang diperoleh akan disimpan baik-baik dan dienkripsi dan tidak akan digunakan untuk tujuan lain atau oleh pihak ketiga


COD (Cash on Delivery)

Ini nih yang paling asik dari belanja di Althea, sekarang sudah bisa COD alias Bayar di Tempat loh! Jadi kalian ga usa khawatir barang ga nyampe atau ragu-ragu nih barang dari Korea beneran nyampe atau ngga, bakal rugi duit ga yah kalau ga nyampe secara nyampenya kan lebih lama daripada pengiriman lokal kan. This is your answer! But, ada beberapa syarat untuk COD, yaitu:

• Total pesanan tidak boleh melebihi Rp 550,000
• COD hanya tersedia di kode pos tertentu
• Anda hanya bisa memilih untuk membayar dengan COD lagi jika status pesanan anda sebelumnya dengan pembayaran COD telah berubah menjadi 'COMPLETE COD'


GRATIS PENGIRIMAN


Yes! Untuk dapat gratis pengiriman syaratnya sih gampang banget, yang penting BELANJA DIATAS Rp 299,000 sudah otomatis dapet free ongkir! Yang aku suka karena harganya terjangkau jadi dengan harga segitu sudah bisa dapet cukup banyak produk loh. Selain itu, metode pembayarannya pun beragam banget mulai dari credit card, transfer, sampai alfamart juga.


FREE PRODUCT di Februari!

So, apalagi yang kalian tunggu-tunggu! Buruan langsung browse websitenya Althea dan langsung pilih belanjaanmu, kebetulan sekarang lagi banyak pilihan free product loh hanya dengan belanja Rp 200,000 ajah.. Free productnya aja harganya udah lumayan harganya diatas Rp 100,000 jadi pastinya untung banget deh.

Hi guys, as you have already known about this, the super late Althea box which supposed to be arrived around July but it's just arrived last month and came with normal box rather than Birthday box. It's a sad moment for all Altheans in Indonesia including me, felt like getting breakup with your loved one.

However, I still belonged to the lucky one because not all my friends can receive theirs. I'm so grateful yet feel super sad because this might be my last box from Althea. They can't enter Indonesia because of this ridiculous regulations for cosmetics. Urghhhh...! >_<

Despite all my disappointment, I wanna share to you what I got from Althea and give mini review about the products. I got many skincare rather than makeup, checkout my last Althea box too here. For makeup I only picked an eyeliner, while for skin and hair care I picked cooling hair pack, face scrub, nose pack and face mask.

I have two liquid pen eye liner from Dolly wink and K-palette which I adore them so much. They're really good and long lasting, the price is expensive tho, but it's worth the quality. But... they're just ran out at almost the same time, super sad. So glad that I bought this before that happened. 

This has a nice brush, easy to make liner with that, the color is black and color's payoff is great. It's also smudgeproof (hard to removed after it dries) but it's NOT WATERPROOF, it goes away as soon as I rub it under the water. Sigh.. too bad it's not waterproof, I always need something that's waterproof because I get teary easily.

I wanted to try this product since a while ago since hair pack sounded great for the scalp. Finally I decided to get this Nature Republic Natural Olive Scalp Cooling Hair Pack. It has plastic olive-green jar and looks like body scrub or mask jar.

Super cute olive watercolor sketch on the top of the jar. It's a twist cap so I need to open it everytime I wanna use it, I think it's better if it comes in a tube, easier to use.

That's all my (last) haul from Althea. I really hope, wish, dream and pray for Althea so they can make it to Indonesia again. I hope you like my haul and let me know if you have any questions regarding the products. Overall, I'm pleased with the products I get. Are you more a skincare person or a makeup person? Just a rambling question, lol. Don't forget to comment.. Xoxo.
